FREIGHT BROKER AGENT STANDING BY
What is freight brokering?
Bridging the gap between those who have freight to move and those who want to move the freight is the freight broker. Freight brokers often employ or contract with agents like Shippages to reach out to more shippers so that more freight can be secured, or brokered, for carriers.
What is the difference between a freight broker agent and a dispatcher?
In a nutshell, a freight broker agent connect shippers with carriers, and a dispatcher connects carriers with shippers. This may seem like they're pulling opposite ends of the rope because they have two distinct functions, but not so! These two always meet in the middle in the best interest of moving freight. If each is doing their job, the freight gets moved efficiently. These are the two best people to work together for the good of the whole freight industry. There is one big difference, though: While a dispatcher cannot broker freight, a freight broker agent can dispatch.
Can owner operators be their own freight broker agent?
The short answer is: yes. It can take quite a bit of time out of the day initially, but it can be done. We can show you how and provide consultation on this.
